India condemns Pak airstrikes on Afghanistan

NEW DELHI: India on Monday “unequivocally” condemned Pakistani airstrikes on Afghanistan and said it is Islamabad’s old practice to blame its neighbours for its internal failures.

Pakistan carried out airstrikes in certain areas in Afghanistan in what it said was aimed at targeting some terrorist hideouts.

“We have noted the media reports on airstrikes on Afghan civilians, including women and children, in which several precious lives have been lost. We unequivocally condemn any attack on innocent civilians,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. PTI
